They were not the result of intelligent research, and in the ignorance then generally prevalent of mining processes and the reduction of the gold-matrix could probably not have been turned to profit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Colony of Victoria: From Its Settlement to the Death of Sir Charles Hotham The greater part of the books which have issued from the press professing to treat on Victoria. Have been intended for European readers, and have but comparatively little interest for colonists. The author hopes that this record of the past will possess some value in the eyes of a Victorian public, and be useful, hereafter, as a work of reference. Lord Bolingbroke, in his Letters on the Study and Use of History, has commented upon the proneness of men to exaggerate the importance of the scenes which have been enacted within the range of their own observation and some per sons will, no doubt, imagine that the author has been too minute in detailing the facts connected with the early history of the colony. He must only' give the apology of Horace Walpole, under the same circumstances, who said, Perhaps I have described these squabbles too minutely; passages in which one has been conversant often appear too interesting. I can only say, that I have preferred offend ing in this respect to the contrary; but, as many men love these details, their curiosity would be unsatisfied with abridgments. But, if this be objected to by some, there are, no doubt, many think ing men who will view the matter in a different aspect. There is. Perhaps, no period in the history of colonization which can be compared, in interest, with the last twenty years. The bureaucratic system of government so long in Operation has, during that period, been thrown aside in the most important colonial dependencies of Great Britain, and has been replaced by self-government. The old system has been rapidly and silently passing away, and an entirely new order of things has been developing itself. From a perfect despotism these countries are passing, at a single leap, to the very opposite point of extreme democracy. There are several subjects touched on in this history which the statwman and politi cal economist ought not to pass by without due consideration. The Government of Dependencies has scarcely, hitherto, been studied with the attention which the importance of the subject demands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Colony of Victoria, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its Discovery to Its Absorption Into the Commonwealth of Australia; A. D. 1854-1900 In a previous chapter it has been shown that vague rumours of gold discoveries in Australia were current long before 1851. As far back as 1839 Count Strzelecki reported, in a letter to Captain Philip King, R.N., that he had found grains of gold in silicate, and although he had been unable to trace the veins, he was satisfied that they indicated the country to be auriferous. Two years later the Rev. W. B. Clarke, of Sydney, produced some pieces of quartz impregnated with gold, which he had found in the ranges near Parramatta, but he was urged by the Governor not to make his discovery public. Again in 1844 Sir Roderick Murchison, on purely scientific grounds, based upon his knowledge of the geological formation of the country, predicted the existence of gold in Australia. The reasons which delayed for ten years the development of so important a factor in the country's wealth are not far to seek. When the discoveries of Hargraves had plunged the Colonies into wild excitement, it became necessary for the pioneering speculators to vindicate themselves. The explanation of Count Strzelecki covers all the others: "I was warned," he writes, "of the responsibility I should incur if I gave publicity to the discovery, since, as the Governor argued, by proclaiming the Colonies to be gold regions, the maintenance of discipline among 45,000 convicts, which New South Wales, Tasmania and Norfolk Island contained, would become almost impossible, and unless the penal code should be amended at home, transportation would become a premium upon crime, and cease to be a punishment". Therefore the Count, and others who had like experience, deferred to the wishes of the authorities, much as they were opposed to their private interests.
